Indoor Positioning System Using Visible Light Communication

This paper proposes a novel indoor visible light communication vlc positioning model by connecting k nearest neighbors knn and random forest rf algorithms for reflective environments namely knn rf.

Indoor positioning system using visible light communication.

In this paper a typical led arrangement design using 9 3x3 led array in an indoor positioning system ips based on visible light communication vlc is introduced. The indoor positioning system by visible light com munication wireless. A highly accurate indoor positioning under the effect of multipath reflections has been a prominent challenge for recent research. Communication technology using led lights.

Moreover the majority of visible light positioning. By comparison vlp has such advantages as cost saving environmentally friendly anti rf interference and so on which. During that time the research on vlc was not popular mainly because of the high production cost of led. Abstract a novel indoor positioning approach using entities of the visible light communication system as anchor points and tags is presented.

But unfortunately in the matter of algorithm complexity and positioning accuracy most existing vlc based systems fail to deliver satisfactory performance. Theoretical accuracy analysis of indoor visible light communication positioning system based on received signal strength indicator abstract. Time difference of arrival between anchor points and tags is estimated by means of positioning reference signals embedded into the orthogonal frequency division multi plexing ofdm based visible light. Vlc is a subset of optical wireless communications technologies.

Recently visible light communication vlc has gradually become a research hotspot in indoor environments because its advantages of illumination and relative high positioning accuracy. Indoor visible light communication positioning system using a rf carrier allocation technique j ournal of lightwave technology vol. This paper analyzes an indoor positioning system using white lighting leds. Different from conventional indoor positioning technologies mentioned above the visible light positioning vlp technology is a kind of indoor positioning technology based on visible light communication vlc technology.

Moreover visible light communications technology enables users to find out which floor they are located on. The technology uses fluorescent lamps ordinary lamps not special communications devices to transmit signals at 10 kbit s or leds for up to 500 mbit s over short distances. 1 1 visible light communication vlc based indoor positioning system ips research on visible light communication vlc was begun about 10 years ago according to the published date of tanaka et al.
